Right now I'm using: gnome-control-center 3.8.5-0ubuntu1~saucy1 and
gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.5-0ubuntu11.1
but none of the following makes any difference, as I tested all of
these:
$ apt-cache policy gnome-control-center
gnome-control-center:
Installed: 1:3.8.5-0ubuntu1~saucy1
Candidate: 1:3.8.5-0ubuntu1~saucy1

Title:
GNOME: Modifiers Only keyboard layout switch have no effect
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
After setting up Alt+Shift keys to change the keyboard layout (via
gnome-tweak-tool or via gnome control center), these key combinations
do not provide the expected result.
Expected Result:
Keyboard layout is changed and keyboard indicator display updates
Actual Result:
Only keyboard indicator display updates, leaving the actual keyboard
indicator in English.
I have English-Hebrew keyboard layout configured with alt+shift for layout
switching.
Once the layout is on Hebrew, alt+shift switches back to English properly.
Once the layout is on English, alt+shift changes the keyboard indicator to
"he", but actually the systems layout is still English.
At this point, pressing Alt+Shift results in changes to the indicator display
only, resulting in no actual layout switches.
If "Allow different sources for each window" is selected in "Input Sources
Options" then:
- Changing the layout to Hebrew.
- Alt-Tab to another window with a different layout.
- Alt-Tab back, allows me to type back in Hebrew.
When Alt+Shift "switches" to English:
$ setxkbmap -query
rules: evdev
model: pc105
layout: us
options: compose:caps,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp:alt_shift_toggle
When Alt+Shift "switches" to Hebrew:
$ setxkbmap -query
rules: evdev
model: pc105
layout: il,us
variant: ,
options: compose:caps,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp:alt_shift_toggle
Which seems right. But still when typing, English chars are being
typed.
I tried this with the packages from the official repos, gnome-ppa, and
ppa:attente/1218322 as described here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/356357/how-to-use-altshift-combo-to-switch-keyboard-layout-in-13-10
All with the same effect.
Ubuntu 13.10
gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.5-0ubuntu9
